Ann H. Session

Ann H. Session serves as a Contract Specialist for the Commanding General under the Department of the Navy, where she plays a pivotal role in executing mission-critical procurements that sustain operational readiness across naval and marine forces. Her responsibilities include managing the full lifecycle of acquisitions for specialized logistics, maintenance support, and mission-enabling services essential to expeditionary and garrison operations. She handles complex contracts under FAR Part 13 and Part 15, ensuring compliance with defense acquisition regulations while aligning procurement actions with strategic readiness goals. Her work directly supports the upkeep of combat systems, mobility assets, and infrastructure critical to force projection and sustainment. Session maintains consistent working relationships with a core group of contractors including MANCON LLC, GEMINI TECH SERVICES LLC, CHEMBLE SOLUTIONS, LLC, MICROTECHNOLOGIES LLC, and SAELIG COMPANY, INC. These partnerships reflect a preference for vendors with proven expertise in technical support, specialized equipment supply, and niche logistics services. Her contracting approach emphasizes reliability, technical compliance, and performance-based outcomes, fostering long-term vendor collaboration grounded in clear statement of work definitions and rigorous contract administration. Her procurement portfolio reflects a balanced commitment to socioeconomic goals, with nearly 43% of awards directed toward small business set-asides—primarily Total Small Business and Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business (SDVOSB) categories. While the majority of contracts remain open competition, her deliberate use of SDVOSB set-asides demonstrates a strong alignment with Department of Defense mandates to empower veteran-owned enterprises and enhance supplier diversity within the defense industrial base. Session’s primary procurement focus centers on NAICS codes 562991 (Septic Tank and Related Services), 334220 (Radio and Television Broadcasting and Wireless Communications Equipment Manufacturing), and 484210 (Used Household and Office Goods Moving), reflecting an unusual but operationally vital mix of environmental, communications, and mobility support services. Her technical domain expertise lies in procuring non-traditional yet mission-critical infrastructure and logistics enablers that ensure force sustainability in austere and garrison environments alike.
